I'm afraid they will ask me what's the problem and I myself don't even know what to say.

The irony that this video was uploaded as I'm sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment..

[ll-spte]

perfect timing. first appointment tomorrow.

[naomig]

my first appointment with a psychiatrist was dry. he was so boring but I made it my mission to make him laugh and by the end he was the funniest person ever :) mission accomplished

[annam]

I thought I was not ready to get help, was strong enough, didn't need it...but then I got forced to see a psychiatrist and to be honest it was such a huge relief to have some support, someone who takes you seriously! I have not made much progress but just talking about it lifts so much weight of my shoulders! Please seek out for help, I know this first step seems impossible but it is worth a try!

I like the doctors who approach their patients holistically.

Oh God, where I live the psychiatrist only spends like 10 minutes interviewing you. When I was 16 I had some mild OCD and depressive symptoms, and after such 10-minute interview the psychiatrist diagnosed me with bipolar disorder. Thankfully, my mom eventually took me to another doctor and she said I was fine, she only recommended that I see a therapist. But many people don't get that kind of second opinion. I remember taking my bipolar medication and barely being able to hold on to my chair because my sense of balance was so impaired.

I love the fact that a Family Therapist took the time go do a video interviewing a psychiatrist to compare notes about the similarities and differences between the two professions. Great job!

The single most brillant aspect of your true help is your emotional honesty and upbeat nature

I don't understand how some psychiatrists prescribe medication from the first session. My psychiatrist had me do blood tests and depending on that she prescribed the right medication and injections

3:28 That moment when he said he doesn't care if somebody is on meds is interesting to me ;)

OK creepy I saw the 'what to expect at your first therapy appointment' the day before my first therapy appointment and I'm seeing this 1 day before my first psychiatrist appointment

My 1st appointment is tomorrow, thanks for uploading this! It made me feel a lot better.

[cristalmikeify]

This really helped me understand better. My therapist recommended I see a psychiatrist for medication and I freaked out. I don’t want to talk about all my problems to someone else. Plus just afraid of medication and depending on it. And it can get expensive too. But I am thinking about it and this helped put my mind at ease a little Thank you for this video.

I could listen to his voice for hours.

Hi Kati, just dropping by because I want to tell you I just started treatment and I really feel like I found my own Kati. Thank you for inspiring me to reach out for help. <3

[nylagibson]

I think I want to work in this field...and this is so exciting

My first appointment was 4 hrs! But have the help I need now! It was hard to admit that I have major depression and generalized anxiety!

[MarySmith]

I wish you would make a video about hospitalization, what expect and voluntarily vs involuntary admission.
